To post to this list, send your email to:" blah blah blah. Anyways, it goes on to say this: "with the word `help' in the subject or body (don't include the quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions." If you look carefully, help is enclosed in one single tick (single quote) and one back tick (tick on the tilde key) not a big deal, just thought I'd let yall know. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1247796&group_…

Category: configure/install Group: Mailman 2.1 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Kev Green (kyrian) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: MySQL MemberAdaptor for Mailman 2.1 Initial Comment: A MemberAdaptor "plugin" which should allow Mailman list members to be loaded from a MySQL database, rather than just a Mailman "pickle" file. Provided as-is, and without warranty, this "plugin" may destroy your server, soul, scalp, house, and life. Please use it with caution. Kev Green, oRe Net. http://www.orenet.co.uk/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Kev Green (kyrian) Date: 2005-07-27 13:38 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=99923 Folks, For my own sanity I have decided to create a dedicated area of my business website for various opensource projects, and put this project among others under there, so please refer to this location for updates to this patch in future: http://www.orenet.co.uk/opensource/ I will still be reading bug reports via sourceforge, but if nothing else, their user interface is much more fiddly and time consuming to publish files than a quick tar -czvf and an scp, so I'll be using my own environment to host the files at least for the time being. The latest version at this time is 1.61, I belive it still requires substantial testing which I'll get around to one of these days. K. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Kev Green (kyrian) Date: 2005-05-31 19:57 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=99923 Folks, Well, I've finally gotten around to releasing an update to this thing, after a phone conversation with the client who are using it, and I've incorporated a couple of cosmetic fixes, fairly substantial changes to make the bounce processing work properly (the ability to set people to NOMAIL now exists, and real world testing is commencing soon), and incorporated the flat vs. wide table archivecture types with various bugfixes. Main notes: * It would be a good idea to change all your delivery_status fields from VARCHAR(255) to INT(10) or similar, so that they will work properly, and not bomb out on this new version (they should be okay I think, but I'd advise the change). * The missing-'AND' typo has been rectified. Any suggestions and bugs should be sent to my sourceforge account address, which ends up in the right place.

Of course, I could have missed something, etc. so do back up your flat file databases before installing the MySQL adaptor, and then you can just migrate back to them by restoring the backups. Either way, you have come up with a good question for an FAQ on the SQL adaptor :-) K. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: simboforge (simboforge) Date: 2005-03-11 22:42 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1226150 neat. just what i was looking for. i have a couple of live lists running on version version 2.1.5. i am a bit leary about unzipping this distrobution over the top of my working mailman as i am not sure how to backup the existing flat file databases. i would prefer to experiment with dropping the adapter into my existing installation. any pointers as to where to start? thx ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Kev Green (kyrian) Date: 2004-12-13 18:34 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=99923 Oh, btw. v1.57 hasn't been tested yet, so it might kill your server, eat your dog, and stick your wife in the oven.

The functionality is very basic but includes interfaces for adding and deleting lists, setting list settings, and adding/removing/listing subscribers. There are also some changes made to a few Cgi and command line interfaces to break functionality away from output generation so that they could be more easily reused. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=1244799&group_…

Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Kurt Werle (kwerle) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Automatic Aliases for Sendmail Initial Comment: Preface: I hate sendmail, and won't use it in my next system - but it is soooo encrusted in my old FreeBSD box that I don't dare try to replace it. I looked at the contrib stuff for automating sendmail alias, and it made my head hurt. In Defaults.py I added the line: SENDMAIL_ALIAS_CMD = '/usr/local/bin/newaliases' and I set MTA = 'Sendmail' I changed the following line in my sendmail.cf: O AliasFile=/etc/mail/aliases to O AliasFile=/etc/mail/aliases,/etc/mail/mailman I HUP'd sendmail. I added the attached file (Sendmail.py) to Mailman/MTA I can now run newlist and rmlist as root and have them do the right thing. I can NOT use the web interface to add/delete lists because of user permissions. Things that should be mentioned: This works on my oldish FreeBSD box (4.X). Which is running not new sendmail (8.12.X). I am not a python coder, really - I just wanted to make this work. Cleanup needed. But it does work. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1244726&group_…

One last question that I have: Is it possible to configure a virtual domain in such a way that a list subscriber could confirm his intent to subscribe to a list by responding to an email rather than going through the web interface? The problem that I have now is that such a confirmation is not delivered to the mailman because the address mailman-something(a)my.virtual.domain does not have a user with that login name. Is this normal or I could do something to work around it? Many thanks in advance! Sincerely, Roy SourceForge.net wrote: >> Comment By: Barry A.
